Okay, am I the only person that opened this thread for the first time an had “…Just like Saigon, eh Slick?” run through their head?

Not at all! A Workhorse that’ll probably outlive me. Possibly my favorite helicopter to hear flying about. Such a Distinct sound. Once you hear it you’ll never forget it!

Cue the sound of a group of Hueys passing low overhead at speed (ROFL ROFL ROFL):D:D

Hello,
Just found today that JGSDF rolled out a Subaru driven upgrade program for UH-1J called UH-X
Thinking to make her too for BMS !
Cheers,

I know all the New Builds (UH-1Y) since 2004 have been 4-Blade Rotors but seeing a 4-Blade on a Huey Still looks…… Wrong. Sounds the same though!

So awesome!
Will all your new models be part of BMS 4.34?

Hi Radium,
excellent stuff! One question tough: isn’t the size of the IR jammer (and it’s mount) a bit exaggerated in proportion?
-
One more:
is there a chance that they will become flyable one day?
I already know I’m silly, so I’m making silly questions, but the same…With best compliments and regards,

Thank you buddies !

I like the pointy nose on the model, but is it supposed to be that pointy?

I do believe the nose of the Huey has become pointier over the year, yes. Perhaps I’m just not seeing it at the right angle, however.
Regardless,

That’s a Bell 212 nose. Bell’s Huey II program - under which legacy UH-1H models are completely rebuild using a factory new Bell 212 tail boom, new Bell 212 tail rotors, new gear box and new T53-L-703 AH-1 engine also provides customers with the choice to fit either the classic UH-1 bubble nose or the sharper 212 nose. For instance, the USAF TH-1H Huey II (which are rebuild former US Army UH-1H models) are equipped with Bell 212 nose and a full glass cockpit. The Philippine Air Force UH-1H Huey II models are instead equipped with their classic Huey noses.
The UH-1J that Radium modeled is an indigenous Huey upgrade program, developed under license in Japan by Fuji Heavy Industries, that has a lot of similarities with the Bell Huey II program - including the engine upgrade to the T53-L-703 turboshaft engine and fitting the Bell 212 nose as well.
